Moreover, there was someone targeting him behind the scenes. In a matter of days, one-third of Nangong houseâs stores and properties had been acquired.
To remedy this situation, Nangong had been in a busy daze, having no time to care for Wenren Yunfei. This had given his love rival Guan Shengqing a chance to proudly be affectionate and touchy with Wenren Yunfei.
But she was still cautious that Guan Shengqing had lost his previous charm and was now unable to provide the luxurious life that Wenren Yunfei craved. Her brows twitched as evil intentions grew.
As for Bai Ling: he had retreated back to the crown prince estate as soon as realized that the situation was amiss. He acted as if he was just a secret guard, completely unaware of the situation outside.
Eventually, Nangong Muchen witnessed Guan Shengqing and Wenren Yunfeiâs illicit relations in person when he arrived back to the estate earlier than expected. There was not even the least bit of resentment or dissatisfaction. Rather, his clothes came off too and made two into three. Soon, the three rolled into a pile and was unrestrained for whole day, creating noise so loud that the maids and servants outside could all hear.
When XunMi heard BaoBaoâs quick summary, she almost vomited. Her idea of the world was once again restructured. But she didnât plan to do anything. After all, based on the current situation, that group of people were prepared to play themselves to death.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The day of XunMi and Zongzheng Mufengâs marriage was fast approaching. In the flower garden, XunMi leisurely curled up and admired the blossoming flowers.
[Host, donât you have a question you want to ask BaoBao?] BaoBao was buried under the pile of sweets on the table. Since he was unable to eat them, then the least he could do is to hold them.
XunMiâs hand that was lifting a teacup suddenly paused. She lowered her eyes, pretended to be carelessly speaking, âOh, what question should I ask BaoBao?â
[Of course itâs the question of whether Madam Host is able to have children in these little dimensions!] BaoBao poked at the desserts while responding.
XunMiâs smile didnât reach her eyes, âIsnât BaoBao with me in every dimension?â {T/N: BaoBaoâs name literally means baby.}
[Iâm not taking about this baby! Obviously, BaoBao is talking about babies with you and your man.] BaoBao finally reacted, discarding the desserts to throw himself across XunMiâs shoulders.
XunMiâs face lost all emotion, her eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression. Of course she had her suspicions. In the last world, she never had signs of pregnancy. But she was also conflicted at heart. She was scared to really leave behind children. When she would need to go into the next world, she would be unable to let them go. That sense of burden and responsibility will make her collapse.
[Host, host. Donât worry. BaoBao is the most amazing.] The white ball rubbed against his Hostâs neck. [Itâs actually Host that is overthinking. It is impossible to have children in these trial worlds, because of the instability it would cause. If Host wanted to come back, there might be a shift in time. But starting from level three, the worlds are different. So Madam Host must prepare. Perhaps there might even be a little baby in your tummy right now~ (*^__^*) heehee.] BaoBao put on a bright smile in hopes of taking away Madam Hostâs worries.
XunMiâs fingertips whitened as she tightly squeezed the teacup. Her left hand unconsciously caressed her flat stomach. As a woman, she was also looking forward to becoming a mother. But...
âBaoBao, what did you mean by âcome backâ?â
[That means that if Madam Host is unable to part with something, then after all the missions are completed and youâve returned to the original world, youâll be able to come to the little worlds for vacation.] BaoBao was referring to the original world, not her former world. XunMi, who was deep in her thoughts, didnât notice. She only felt extremely happy. This way, she would be able to see her children. A small and warm smile grew on her face.
âBelle, are you intending to seduce your husband?â A pair of gently lifted up the woman lying lazily on her chair, sitting down himself and placing her onto his lap. XunMi rolled her eyes. She was too lazy to correct this fellowâs manner of speaking.
âWhat did mother say?â In the early morning, her mother had called Zongzheng Mufeng out.
âMother said that if I didnât treat you well, sheâll finish me.â Zongzheng Mufeng said without worry, very pleased at this chance to play with XunMiâs hair.
Slap! âSpeak obediently, keep your paws away from me.â XunMi felt a headache coming.
âAlright.â Zongzheng Mufeng pouted feeling wronged, âMother said that the Prime Minister shamelessly wants to meet with you. He also wants to accompany you at the wedding.â That old thing really thinks that a treasure he threw away would be able to regained after just a few words?
XunMi hadnât thought this would happen. If he hadnât brought him up, she would have forgotten that this person even existed._(:зãâ )_
âWhy didnât the Prime Minister come talk to me?â
Zongzheng Mufeng guiltily replied, âMaybe his pride wouldnât let him lower his face like that.â He wasnât going to tell his Belle that he told people to block his entry. Humph. He wonât let that blind old thing meet with his Belle.
XunMi was in a good mood so she investigate further. âI havenât gone out to breathe the cityâs air in so long. Letâs go take a walk.â XunMi dragged Zongzheng Mufengâs hand, pulling the man up with her.
The two appeared together on the busy streets. XunMi, who hadnât been out in half a month, suddenly felt as if something had changed.
âAll the stores with Nangong familyâs branding has been switched.â Zongzheng Mufeng guarded XunMi close to him as he explained.
XunMi raised her eyebrows in astonishment. âThat means the status of richest merchant will change to someone else?â
âIt changed a few days ago. Now, that title belongs to your husband.â He gazed at XunMi with immense pride, his shining eyes were saying âquickly praise me, arenât I awesome?â
XunMi laughed and patted the big hand resting on her shoulder. âArenât you gloating? In any case, whatâs yours is mine.â
Seeing that her man didnât respond, she slanted her eyes, âWhat? Youâre not willing to share?â
âNo, no no. Your husband is very willing.â He curled his lips up into a silly smile before pulling her closer for a kiss.
Thankfully, their location was a bit desolate and quiet without many people.
XunMi kicked him without mercy, âDamn it. You better be careful, we are outside!â They were on main street. Goddamn, did he want her to become tomorrowâs gossip?
Zongzheng Mufeng pulled out grovelling puppy eyes as he chased after her. On the inside, he was smiling. Belle herself hadnât realized that she was more and more open and reliant on him.
How great. Now, Belleâs world would only have him.
âPrime Minister, what business are you here for?â As she was walking, XunMi was stopped by someone. Zongzheng Mufeng appeared by XunMiâs side, coldly eyeing the person that had stopped her path.
